Notes on chronology:
We are told in Galatians 3:16 that the 430 years are from the promise give to Abraham to the Exodus. This fits with Jochebed, Moses mother, being born while Jacob and his 70 were migrating to Egypt and with Adia, daughter of Joktan, son of Eber, marrying Levi.

Putting the stories from Jasher and Josephus together we get that Moses kills the Egyptian at the age of 18, flees lower Egypt, but because of a rebellion in Ethiopia is asked to take command of the army. After he crushes the rebellion, on hearing that lower Egypt may again seek his life, he stays in upper Egypt, and becomes king of the Ethiopians, ruling from the age of 27 to 66, then voluntarily abdicates and goes to Midian. While ruling Ethiopia for 40 years he has battles with various kings and all the sons of Cush (including Egyptians) were very afraid of Moses.  He apparently rebels against Egypt making Ethiopia independent. This makes Stevens 40 yrs with Egypt and 40 away (Acts 7:23-30) fit the stories of Jasher and Josephus. The dates with this part of his life; however, effect nothing else in the timeline. So in either case all other dates are intact.

Even though the Septuagint (Greek) translation of the bible has completely different dates that the Hebrew versions, they both mention the book of Jasher as an accurate history book. The 3 simultaneous timelines, in Jasher, agree with the Hebrew versions (Heb. Genesis, Talmud, Sader Olam, ect). Therefore, the Hebrew version chronology must be correct up to the death of Joshua at 2516, and adding the 480 yrs from Joshua to the temple. This places the dedication of Solomon’s temple at 2935 years after creation.
